We are grateful our older three children are also doing well! Christian is 8-years-old. He continues to amaze us with his amazing intellect and is currently writing his own adventure novel. He loves playing strategy games, reading, and spending time with friends. Abbie is 6-years-old. She loves Jesus and is passionate about sharing Him with others. She loves coloring/painting, playing with friends, and taking care of her baby sister. Isaac is 2-years-old and loves exploring, watching tractors/construction equipment, and playing his little guitar.
Our second most exciting announcement is that this summer we were officially appointed missionaries with ABWE! Over the past few months we have been meeting with churches and individuals to share our passion for training leaders in Asia! We truly believe that when Asian leaders are equipped with a strong theological foundation they will empower their churches to share the gospel and God’s kingdom will expand in Asia. We’re blessed that we already have 15 committed financial partners and 14% of our monthly committed support raised. We will be going on a trip to Singapore and Thailand January 20-30, 2016 to determine which city we will be based in while serving in Asia. Through God’s people Jehovah Jireh provided the funds for this trip in just six weeks! It has been amazing to see God providing for our family’s ministry!
